I had Mozilla running under Linux about two years ago and have sent all the necessary patches to the maintainers at that time. It was not terribly stable, though. Resizing the window crashed Mozilla but aside of that it was running just fine. I gave up tracking the problem since my Indy by far didn't have enough memory to deal with GDB + Emacs as GDB frontend + Mozilla. I guess you need 192mb or more to debug that resize crash ... As for text browsers I've built Lynx which was running just out of the box. There is a few more text browsers like w3m or Links, haven't yet tried those under Linux.

I have Lynx, amaya and kfm running on a DECstation (R3000 little endian). Take a look at ftp://bolug.uni-bonn.de/mips/ for RPM-Packages.

BTW, I have uploaded several new packages there, including a complete KDE 1.1.2 for mipsel. Well, it's a bit slow on a 25MHz-R3K machine, but it works and kfm is not that bad as a graphical web browser, if you have enough memory.

HTH,
Karsten
